A home redesigned by an acclaimed architect is a find in itself, but a home with works by two influential architects is much rarer.

This Hollywood Hills home for sale is made of up three distinct units, one designed by architect Richard Neutra and another by Paul Hoag.

The Rajagopal family bought the home in 1933. Owner Rosalind Rajagopal was in particular connected to the scene of architects, artists and celebrities in Los Angeles. A founding member of the Happy Valley School in Ojai, Rajagopal met Neutra early on in his career. She hired him to do an upper addition to the original Spanish-style 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in 1934.

"It's very efficient and modern, and ahead of its time for the early '30s," said real estate agentPatricia Ruben, who shares the listing with agent Robert Kallick.

"It feels much bigger than it is, and no one was really doing that. That's what modern is about, and the whole living room is a wall of windows," added Kallick.

Later on, Hoag was hired to add on another unit that, like the Neutra addition, practices form and function of space.
